Forza Horizon 5 Is the Top Video Game of 2021 on Metacritic
According to Metacritic's own dedicated page of 2021 video games, Forza Horizon 5 ended up taking the top spot overall for titles that have been reviewed since the start of the year. The game boasts an overall "Metascore" of 92, which puts it a full point higher than that of Psychonauts 2, which ended up coming in second place when compared to other games that were released this year. All in all, it was a strong year for Xbox Game Studios.
While Forza Horizon 5 was the top new game that launched in 2021, there are a few caveats with its win. For starters, Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, which is the latest expansion for the ongoing MMO, also ended up receiving an overall Metascore of 92, which puts it toe-to-toe with Forza. However, since this is an add-on rather than a full new game, Endwalker kind of slots into its own category.
It's also worth noting that other newly-released versions of games that released in previous years also rated higher than Forza Horizon 5. Disco Elysium: The Final Cut was technically the best-reviewed title of the year and had a 97 score. The Nintendo Switch version of Tetris Effect: Connected also achieved a 95 aggregate score, while the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 version of Hades achieved a 93. So while Forza Horizon 5 was the top new game that launched this year, some titles did end up technically ranking higher.
